On Bank Holiday Monday, 8th May, Brentwood District Scouts will be manning a stand at an event run by Brentwood District Council at King George’s Playing Fields from 12pm – 5pm. We will be running activities aimed at enticing people to volunteer as leaders.
We are sharing the stand with the Jamboree Team who will be fundraising and will certainly appreciate your support!
The Programme Looks something like this:
For those of you who have attended District Camp before this is the usual format
We have had a look at the activities available and have booked the following for each session. On the weekend these will be divided into 3 zones and each group will have a chance to do everything.
The 3rd zone will also involve the group challenge activity and we will be asking each group to provide a small activity on their campsite based on our Spy Theme. More information to follow.
We will be holding a meeting for anyone who wants to help out in mid-March so if you would like to help, or know anyone who does then please get in touch!
The costs and have been worked out and we are pleased to be able to say that they have come in at less than we anticipated and we are able to keep it at the pre-covid price of:
£25 YP full weekend
£10 YP Day Rate
£10 Leader rate to cover camp fees
These costs DO NOT include food.
So, finally can I ask that you reply to this confirming that your group intends to take part and then numbers by 4th March.
I look forward to hearing from you all very soon!
This years all sections district camp will be held at Skreens Park from 14th to 16th April.
Planning is well under way and more details will be available at the GSL/Team meeting on Monday 23rd January but wanted to send this to make sure it was in everyone’s diary.
Please let us know if your group is intending to take part. This is the first District Camp we have had since 2018 so it would be great to see every group represented and firmly put Covid and the last 3 years behind us!
I look forward to seeing you all on 23rd April when all will be revealed…
